Senior Pastor

Pastor Anthony Simmons was born and raised in Kodiak, Alaska. He spent the first part of his life working in the logging and commercial fishing industries, but secretly his life was quickly spinning out of control with an addiction to alcohol and drugs. God supernaturally delivered Anthony from this lifestyle.

Pastor Anthony attended Seattle Bible College soon after, later earning a Bachelor of Theology. In downtown Seattle, he started an outreach to the homeless and Skyline Community Church. Pastor Anthony married Lori Simmons, and they now live in Fond du Lac, WI and have five children. Lori has led children's ministry, women's ministry and several drama productions.

He is looking forward to leading students to discover their identity in Christ and teaching them how to listen to the Holy Spirit's direction. Jonah speaks fluent Spanish and is always looking to speak it. He keeps snacks in his office for any youth looking for some sugar! He's always open to new ideas for ministry and would love to hear your ideas, his office door is always open. Looking for someone to go on a Taco Bell run? Jonah's your guy!

Associate Pastor

Dave has been the associate pastor at Lighthouse since 2017. His diverse interests in intercultural studies and travel have led him to fourteen countries worldwide where he has studied, taught and volunteered with numerous organizations. David holds a B.A. in Cross-Cultural Studies, M.A. in Muslim Studies, and an MTh in World Christianity. The more he studies, the more he realizes he does not know much about stuff in general.
